Services
Pet Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programmes for dogs, cats, and rabbits, following WSAVA guidelines to ensure optimal protection. Our protocols include L4 leptospirosis vaccines and titre testing to avoid unnecessary doses. Puppies and kittens receive tailored schedules starting at 8 weeks, with annual boosters for continued immunity against diseases like parvovirus and feline leukaemia.
Dental Care
Our dental services address tartar removal, gum disease, and tooth extractions while promoting preventive care. We offer professional cleanings under anaesthesia with multiparameter monitoring, plus home care advice for maintaining oral hygiene. Early intervention helps prevent systemic health issues linked to poor dental health in pets.
Neutering
We perform safe neutering surgeries for dogs, cats, and rabbits using tailored anaesthetic protocols and post-operative pain management. Procedures include pre-surgical exams, IV catheterisation, and laser therapy to aid recovery. Our team provides guidance on optimal timing for neutering based on breed, age, and lifestyle factors.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy sessions utilise underwater treadmills to aid recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions like arthritis. The controlled environment reduces joint stress while building muscle strength through resistance training. Sessions are supervised by trained professionals to ensure safe, effective rehabilitation for improved mobility.
Parasite Control
We offer year-round parasite prevention plans tailored to your pet's lifestyle, including protection against fleas, ticks, lungworm, and intestinal parasites. Our risk assessments ensure appropriate product selection, while client education helps prevent infestations that threaten both pet and human health through zoonotic transmission.
